Bitcoin Forum

Hello everybody,
I plan to intensify my btc and altcoin trading in future. I would like to hear some opinions and feedback (yes, i know it's tricky here, as some people have the tendency to push their own sh!tcoins, but hey, in my country there is a saying: "only who talks can receive advice!") on my plans.

So to begin with:
I would like to buy 30-40BTC. "Unfortunately" as we are currently topping 1200$+, I will wait. Maybe it breaks resistance, but after enough study, I dare to say it will fall again. Some say 800, some say 850, I guess I would like to buy in at around 900 or 950. And ultimately going to 2000+ until the on of the year too.

Once I have the BTC, I am thinking about splitting mt portfolio into 3 main pillars:
- I. 10BTC Longterm
- II. 10BTC Longterm
- III. 10BTC Shortterm

I. Pillar I would like to go into ETH and keep until end of this year. Maybe some occasional shorting, but I would like to stay long on that pillar. Potentially the timing will be bad, as the dip in BTC will potentially not come until mid of this month when the "big ETH news" is about to spread. Anyways, I could imagine that it'll be a re-heat of the Brock Pierce fond. If my plan works, I would like to buy in at around 0.037 but as I said I guess that won't be possible. So I might be forced to buy in on much higher price. Even if I buy in at 0.05 or 0.06 I believe there will still be enough room during 2017 to sell at 0.1 to 0.15.

II. Pillar I would like to go into LTC. I guess from the "big 3" (if I dare to call LTC that), it has the most growth potential among the "solid" altcoins. Not too sure again when I will be able to buy in, but if I can get them at around 0.01, I assume LTC can hit 0.1 during 2017.

III. Pillar I would like to spread on 3 to 8 coins. Traditional speculation I guess. I am a lurker on this forum a while and on twitter even longer, so I know it will be quite naive to ask for some good suggestions on the spot, considering I don't know when I will own the BTC and the pace of the altcoin market. Anyways, I would still like to ask what some of you think would be a good short/midterm coin for the rest of the year. While usually the most unexpected coins get a push (well, that's their game isn't it) I reckon there are some solid coins to look out for in the near future. Any recommendations about some promising growth coins which have solid tech and anonymity features, which I estimate to be key for sustainable growth in 2017?


Hope to hear some feedback from you guys and to be able to have some discussions here as well (which according to other threads sometimes proves to be difficult!). ; )


Take care & play safe,
WDC4693

I would take:
btc, eth, dash, xmr, nxt/ardror, xrp, xem and game as long term. In mid/short have no idea, because i'm long term investor for the most part.

Thanks for your suggestions!

komodo is a good investment too

Hi Anks!

KMD seems indeed to be a good coin (speculative wise) it popped up quite often during my research.

I think it has a "doubling boost" within March/April. While it is currently going down a bit from the boost, there might be another on the horizon. Is there any word on Polo listing? At the moment, at least on Bittrex the traffic is quite low. But ever since BTC price increased, overall traffic is quite low there anyways.

i don't know about komodo, but it's just a dagger coin with nothing really new that is not on ETH already instead, can i suggest HLM? it's a new coin that will be released soon and it's based on dash but with a new gpu algorithm, if you have spreadcoin the swap will be 1:1 with Helium(HLM), decred also was not mentioned here, i think it's a good coin with a good roadmap

ethereum is good buy, because after uptrend, ethreum down price over 50%
but about litecoin this now still uptrend so you can't buy litecoin use low price

about plan 3, the first sugestion buy xrp coin

longterm coins for holding : decred,zcoin,pivx,nem, mue, crown

30 k i would buy 1 mn crwon, 1 mn pivx and 1 zcoin

May i ask what is the big news coming out of ETH and if you are aware of that please do convey so that i would think about investing in it as i do not want to miss any rally,LTC is always a sleeping giant for a very long time and with the segwit news and with the rallies of other alt coins i am seeing some movement in LTC and i hope it will have a good rally in the future.

The last few weeks, some people in Polo chat kept on referring to news around 14th April. I dont know what.

what tools do you use while investing in altcoins? Can you suggest me something?  ::)

I would hold 2/3 Eth and rest in BTC. Eth has huge support from some corporations ;D

You should consider coingecko for research

Thanks for all your input.

Where do we stand on SYS and BCY?

Hey, friend!

If you are interested in Syscoin, I would highly recommend BitBay instead as an investment at their current prices. They are both great coins, but Bay will get you a higher ROI. Bay is arguably the better coin with higher upside and is currently a lot cheaper. Syscoin $15.3 mil marketcap vs Bitbay $4.8 mil marketcap. BitBay is also not on Polo yet and once it is, it will get a big boost. At the very least, if you are going to buy Sys, you should also buy Bay. Bay is extremely undervalued. Give a little personal research into Bay. They are both $50 mil marketcap worthy coins, imo

33% NEM
33% WAVES
33% ETH, BTC, others

I really hope you bought some BAY after my post. It has already made over 100% since then. The crazy thing is, is that this is just the beginning. It is a dead minimum $50mil market cap coin. I personally, think it should be worth $100mil or more

Also, it is not even listed on Poloniex yet, which I think it will be very soon...

PIVX will be $5 by the end of 2017.

I don't think BTC will ever go back to 800$, unless there will be some regulatory issues/bans by some government.

Totally agree with you. To got back $800 like impossible. I aspect lowest price around $1100 this year. Maybe by Q4 can see the faster increment. No sure, but everything can happen in trading.  ;)

I think it very-very good idea for OP to split the investment. Maybe one of them will hit jackpot. Good Luck to you.

Long term: Xmr, Btc, Eth
Long term: Pivx, Ltc, Shift
Short term: Decred, Edgeless, Golem

I would put Golem to longterm. Agree with the rest.

I would buy lisk. Lisk has a stronger development team than Waves. Eth will moon causing lisk to moon. Only lisk will have more room to grow.

Interesting! Second row was supposed to be mid-term i reckon?

I really started to doubt LTC. While I think there is a lot of $$$ to be made, I don't trust the shady business in the background.

I did my man, I did... :)

What was happen with LTC? Looks like shady according from you said. I think rather than ltc stratis is much better than it. With more demand in the future and polo is not impossible for

Long term: Iconomi (or any digital asset fund project)
Long term: Ethereum
Short term: PIVX / CROWN

I would not forget waves. There is  very much potential in it.

if i have a 30btc, i will put some of it in monero, i have been research for it for awhile many people are now investing on it ,it has  many investors nowadays, like zcash, zchash are now globally it is also in africa, and africans are very happy to earn zcash, it will serve as their pocket money when they dont have enough to support their needs.

Awesome! I'm glad to hear that  :)

Longterm: ETH, XEM, WAVES
Short: Nexus, some promising ICOs

Mhh... but we all agree that the current BTC trend will not go permanently and we will see a mini collapse until it aims for 2000?

yeah sure but when is that mini decrease in price.is it at 1700 or 1900 taht is the question.

LONG TERM:

• PACCOIN
• TITCOIN

I made a similar thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1888730.0

I would go for ETH, GNT, Lykke as long/midterm.

I would pick byteball and factom

I agree! This is the best advice so far in this thread.

Pivx, Shift Decred, Edgeless- All bullshit

Hello everybody!
Thank you very much for your input during the last weeks. It helped me to narrow down some possibilities.

Portfolio has been setup now.

Thanks again!

MORE COIN:

• SHITCOIN
• CRAPCOIN
• TURDCOIN

 8) 8) 8)

which is almost every coin at the moment.

Just a quick update:
5000$ profit in 1week. I am happy! :)

So much for hitting $800 again OP, ever think it would just about hit $1900? LOL

Pretty damn sure ETH has peaked for this year. But if people keep offering ICO coins and accepting ETH who knows.

Everyone is waiting for the delayed announcements on ETH. It was meant to be in April, then May... so we have to wait for the news.

I reckon $150 by the end of May/June.

Glad I was wrong. But hey, year is fresh. However, was right call do go in and start multiplying btc.

How much have you invested and what all coins are there in your portfolio ,just curious to know because you terribly predicted the price of bitcoin to be around $800  :D and now you made a $5000 profit in a weeks time,yes it was possible because every alt coin had a rally but curious to know which coin made you this much profit.

Hi,
I will not disclose my full bag, but the big hitters were:
- XRP
- WAVES
- EXP (today)

Some other coins got me good profits too. However, ETH, ETC and LTC are dragging me down right now.

Hi guys,
Just to follow up because this forum was very helpful for me!

2 weeks have passed and I am happy with my result:

Thanks again everybody for the helpful input!

Adding another week:

Results after 1month:

Will post another update in another month.

This thread is useless, only bragging  ::)

The intention is rather to inspire people.

i suggest also choose trading platform who comfort for you, such as bitfinex, poloniex, yobit, etc. also with some aplication on your pc or your phone to support your trading activity

hello
how long do you usually stay in a trade on one coin?

This pretty much depends on the coin tbh. In the beginning, I grabbed some fast profits and re-spread the profit on other coins. Mostly seed investments.
I think the bag I have right now is 90% the same since 2-3weeks and I haven't changed much. Maybe some small profit sales and re-invested in other existing coins in the bag in order to have a more healthy weighting.

Ah not true, yesterday I finally decided to kick-out my LTC bag (bought for 3BTC, sold for 2BTC) and bought some new coins too, for 0.5BTC each.

I plan to keep the existing bag like this until the end of the year as I am extremely happy with it's setup and future outlook. As I am quite heavy on DGB, I might cash out a little on 8th or 9th of June, depending on the price reception of minecraft private server and citi startup contents. These profits I would put in 2-4 coins I consider missing in my bag, but hey, you can't catch all the pokemon...

Wtf is the point of this garbage thread? How are you going to make a thread on spec alts and say "I will not disclose my coins"? You realize that you actually want more exposure for your coins because that raises their value right?

That would be shilling my bags. Not good style.
And it doesn't seem to be necessary!

I really can understand your decision,but i would like to know more about your investments ,if it is possible to know about it here or through PM i am more than ears to hear about your investments and if possible even i would like to invest some more ,sure this thread is an inspiration but know some coins in your arsenal is a benefit on knowing how your views are on certain coins.

What would be called e-penis in crypto? crypto-penis....

You don't really inspire people if you give no info, no tips, only numbers or screenshot of blockfolio.

BTW pretty easy to enter any number in that app and have a billion in holding.  ::)

About long term you should surely go with ethereum , ripple , nem , monero and maybe ltc. Whatever you do for long term go for a coin which has a potential fo being bitcoin , don't invest if you suddenly see a price increasing by 200% in 5 hours as that is common on most exchanges.
For short term you can go with dash as people buy it and then dump it and keep on doing that again and again, for short term pump a coin which is listed on many exchanges and has a pretty good cap.
